Vitamins And Trace Elements Your Pet Needs

Well, it's already summer! On the street - the sun, the skies are blue, the young foliage on the trees - grace! You look to the right - the dogs are walking, you look to the left - the cats are fighting, you go straight ahead - you will stumble upon a guinea pig in a harness. Yes, progress … harnesses … pigs. Eh! And I'll substitute my face for the sun, but take a sun bath! Also, you know, vitamin D!

Okay, we have to go for a walk with your "Bob" -Labrador. Oh no! Again you rubbed against me, again my black coat became with a fawn pile. Kohler, of course, fashionable, but not quite to my face. At home, everything is in your fur, you have to do something about it, and you look sad too - it's time to pick up vitamins for you.

Each of you has probably come across this problem: wool flies in the air, house cleaning begins not with dusting off, but with scraping wool from carpets and baseboards. Your pet is lethargic and seems to have put on weight (or "lost weight" somehow?). And if your girl is expecting a offspring, then she also needs attention, because she will spend a lot of energy, and she will have more worries in the future, not to mention you! A funny puppy appeared in your neighbor's house - and he also grows and develops. It would seem that all these situations are not related to each other, but they are united by the fact that they are all solved by correctly selected vitamin and mineral complexes.

The body wakes up from hibernation, it begins to work with a double effort, more energy is spent. And now the strength is running out, resources are exhausted, but attentive owners are already running with packs of complex vitamin-mineral pills. After all, it is in them, in "vitamins", that support for a growing organism and for a mature dog.

Dull coat, tired look. The magical formula of Biotin (Vitamin H) will give your pet a shiny and well-groomed look. In older pets, the skin ages, flakes, the hair falls out, so they also need fat-soluble vitamins A, D3 (cholecalciferol), E (natural antioxidant). Also ensure the presence of fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6 in the feed, and this magic potion will be accepted with true gratitude by the body of your four-legged friend, and you will forget about his tired appearance and incessant shedding.

There is another friend - vitamin A (retinol). It protects the skin from the development of dermatitis, dandruff, metaplasia (cell degeneration and keratinization of the mucous membranes and glands), improves vision and increases the reproductive function of the animal.

Don't forget about B vitamins - yeast is rich in them. This whole group has a surprising effect on the correct development and maintenance of the nervous system, both central and peripheral, in good condition. With a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine) in the animal's body, terrible things happen: the functions of the central nervous system are upset, carbohydrate metabolism is disturbed, as a result of which incomplete oxidation products accumulate in the tissues and muscle activity decreases. The main cause of hypovitaminosis (lack) of B1 is insufficient intake of thiamine with food. Deficiency of this vitamin is especially often manifested when feeding "natural products" - potatoes, cereals, fish. (In a fish, with a lack of proteins and an excess of carbohydrates, the enzyme thiaminase is contained, which destroys vitamin B). Less commonly, this problem concerns ownerswho feed their pets "dry" food. It was not for nothing that the clever heads of all countries and peoples gathered and figured out how to make life easier for both the owner and the beast.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Its deficiency affects the development of dermatitis and chronic ulcers on this basis. It is necessary to pay attention to it and those who "feed" on dry food. In many feeds, its content is insufficient for a developing organism. If your dog has a growth retardation, progressive emaciation, anemia, hair loss on the ridge, swollen eyelids - sound the alarm!

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). With a lack of this vitamin, hypochromic anemia can develop, and seizures can be triggered. Often in dogs and cats on the basis of this develops tissue necrosis of the tip of the tail.

And, perhaps, the most dangerous is the lack of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). Possible violations of all types of metabolism, the manifestation of progressive anemia (with a decrease in the blood of red blood cells - erythrocytes), delayed growth and development, a decrease in the body's resistance and resistance to various diseases.

Lack of vitamin C - "ascorbic acid", as we love it, manifests itself in the form of anemia, scurvy and hemorrhagic dermatitis. In diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, the synthesis and absorption of ascorbic acid in the intestine is disrupted. This is also facilitated by long-term antibiotic therapy, kidney disease, infectious and invasive diseases. Remember that with any disease, the body's immunity weakens and it just needs to throw a lifeline - vitamin therapy.

Vitamins are not alone, with them macro- and microelements wander tightly under the arm. Almost all manufacturing companies, whose work is aimed at the production of therapeutic and prophylactic products, produce vitamin and mineral complexes, combined with dry feed. I will briefly try to explain the essence and necessity of some minerals.

CALCIUM and PHOSPHORUS, as good builders, are responsible for the construction of the skeleton, its strengthening and proper development. Thanks to them, our pets grow healthy and strong teeth, without stones and caries. But without vitamin D, calcium passes through the body in transit and is not absorbed! This is important to remember.

MAGNESIUM prevents muscle spasms and convulsions.

COBALT will prevent anemia from developing, will prevent loss of appetite and exhaustion. Doctors often register its deficiency in the spring-autumn period.

Lack of copper entails a violation of the pigmentation of the coat, deformation of the limbs, growth retardation in puppies and kittens.

How to remember all this information, how to use it correctly? How to correctly calculate the required amount of the required substances, and in what dosages should they be given? Don't rack your brains - pet stores can offer you a variety of complex preparations that will provide your pet with powerful health and a shiny look. You can choose the most convenient form for it - liquid, powder or tablets. There are also injection forms containing all the necessary components. For older animals, preparations are offered with a high content of iodine and amino acids, B vitamins, which, as we have already said, are necessary for the nervous system (nerve cells are not restored!). For puppies and kittens, rats and mice, there are vitamin and mineral complexes,in which the doses of almost all substances are calculated and overestimated in comparison with adult animals. What is the reason for this? First, the body develops and grows rapidly, it needs more and more. In particular, the need for CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS and vitamin D is high. But do not forget that D is a fat-soluble vitamin, and with its long-term use, problems can arise, for example, disruption of the pancreas. Therefore, the diet of the animal should contain vitamin A (retinol), which is an antagonist of vitamin D. Vitamins for babies can also be given to pregnant and lactating animals, their body works for two, three …. ten. Well, after childbirth and during the feeding period, the mother's body weakens and requires "repair" with vitamins and minerals.the body develops and grows rapidly, it needs more and more.

The topic of vitamins for castrated and neutered animals is relevant. They are offered supplements with a reduced content of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, because their excess can contribute to the development of urolithiasis.

The reason for the lack of vitamins is commonplace - the wrong diet or poorly selected food. Moving away from this problem, you cause irreparable harm to your pet. If this topic is interesting for you, and you are a responsible person - come to us at Zoomarket, and I will once again (in more detail) tell you how to choose the right vitamins (taking into account your case). Health and many years to you and your four-legged.
